$prefix is the prefix of the table the people put in. attachments is just the first table name it needs to check to see if its there.. for example, if "yahoo_attachments" is there - then the $prefix was yahoo and attachments is just a table it makes..

So ..

I know

$tablename = $GLOBALS['prefix'] . _attachments;

wouldnt work, what would that be :P the "prefix" is the only thing it needs to actually get. attachments is just... there

How about we put it like this...someone help me write a code, maybe, lol, so that when the person enters a prefix for a table, which is labeled $prefix, it checks the database to see if $prefix is already being used (the first table the code creates is $prefix_attachments, so thats why it should probably check if $prefix_attachments is already made, because its made each time..)
